Hi guys,
We got another pretty good piece right here:
Ayre KX-R Preamplifier
Specifications from the Manufacturer:
Input Impedance
2 Mohm balanced (1 Mohm per phase)
Output Impedance
300 ohm balanced (150 ohm per phase)
Frequency Response
DC - 250 kHz
Power Consumption
35 watts in standby or normal operation
65 watts with remote control active
Dimensions
17.25" W x 11.5" D x 3.75" H
(43.8cm x 29.2cm x 9.5cm)
Weight
40 pounds 18 kg
And here are a few choice quotes from reviews:
“I'll start with something that sounds simple: The KX-R was really quiet. (If this were a movie, somebody would have to say, "Yeah. Too quiet.") Aren't all audio components these days? Well, sure, but the KX-R, with an activated input selected and set to regular listening volume, was far more silent than the tomb.
In my life, three much-hyped experiences have actually lived up to all the hoopla: trekking into Machu Picchu on a misty morning, climbing the Great Wall of China on a brisk December afternoon, and auditioning the Ayre KX-R. If it's not the eighth wonder of the modern world, I say demand a recount.”

“As for the KX-R, I can’t say enough good things. I believe it to be the most complete product Ayre has ever made -- a defining achievement for a company known for its string of audio achievements. The KX-R is an ideal reference tool for my life as a reviewer, and an ideal instrument for my audiophile passions.”
The preamp is complete with the box, leather cover, manual and remote control. It’s in perfect working condition, with only a few barely visible nicks on the top cover, so overall a nice 8/10. Comes with all the original packaging.
Price: US$ 11.500!
Will consider offers for partial or full trades!
cheers,
alex
